EMPLOYEE 147-B, YOU ARE DISPLAYING INSUFFICIENT LEVELS OF PASSION FOR YOUR WORK. PREPARE TO BE ENCOURAGED.
— Common Mandatory Happiness Mobile message
In a perfect world, corporations expect workers to go to work with a skip in their step and a song in their hearts, no matter how many meetings they're forced to endure or even if it happens to be
Monday. But no matter how many corporate slogans they invent or motivational posters they plaster on the walls of their office, some employees just can't seem to get the hint.
It is for such cases that every corp retains a fleet of what they call "Mobile Motivation," but everyone else has come to call
Mandatory Happiness Mobiles. Though they might vary in appearance depending on what corporation they belong to, Mobiles all fill the same purpose - to bring joy to the working force, whether they like it or not.

WORKERS REJOICE! PRODUCTIVITY HAS INCREASED BY 0.054%! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
— Common Mandatory Happiness Mobile message
Mandatory Happiness Mobiles usually take the form of large vans, dressed in corporate colors and laden with speakers,
Javamats, aerosol drug dispensaries, antennas, and motivational posters. The interior is filled with storage tanks and an elaborate setup of computers to handle all the data collected both from the Mobile and its corporate handlers.

Thus armed, the Mobiles drive from work site to work site, speakers blaring and extolling employees to work hard, monitor for sufficient levels of enthusiasm, and the artificial enhancement of that when it is lacking.
The first strike is always an auditory assault of corporate slogans, jingles, voice clips from the CEO, followed by plastering the workplace with "inspirational" items. These range from posters to pictures of the CEO to reminders that they can get fired at any time, including right now if they don't turn that frown upside down.
Should such brilliant techniques somehow fail to motivate the despondent employee, the Mandatory Happiness Mobile will escalate. The crew will exit the vehicle, dressed in costumes of the corporate mascots, and perform while the van sprays the area with aerosol encouragement (i.e., drugs).
Java is also available for employee consumption, with a special blend that can get even a corpse back to work.
No, no! Stay away! I'm feeling better, I promise! Ahahah, I'm having so much fun! I love my work so much, you have to believe me!
